Comment (by boklm):

 As doing it the same way as Mozilla requires a lot of changes, I think we
 can start with the more simple solution of using a version number that
 includes the date, and do it differently if we see problems with that.

 I started working on a patch changing the version number to `tbb-
 nightly.$year.$month.$day` (which I think conform to Mozilla's standard
 format for version numbers):

 build.git/commit/?h=bug_25099&id=2f38beae42a9f2495fbf4f5cecddfe2286ab1dd0

 I did not try doing a build with this patch yet.
